    The Alamo

    Roanoke Colony Firearms

    Seems to me that the artists of the day had never fired a weapon, maybe only seen a few and had no understanding that a hip fired weapon would have filled the eyes and nose full of burning pan primer powder, hence another advantage of using sights!

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Interesting observation: Our backyard which is surrounded by 150 to 200 year old pecan and Burr Oak trees always seemed overloaded with squirrels. I put up an owl house two years ago....it was immediately occupied by squirrels. This year a Barred Owl pair moved in. Within 2 weeks, not a...

    Blackfoot Warrior Photo

    Common with photographers back in day to provide the necessary accruements to properly set up the subject..and noting from above about seeing the same necklace on another Indian makes me believe both the pipe and necklace were props.

    You are most likely correct Sam about the EU...however, the carbines were to be exported to the USA unassembled for this very reason; 2 shipping cartons....one for the stock only (piece of wood) and the second a small carton with lock and small accessories. Everything preplanned. Water under...

    Sam I know these folks are not con-men. I have to believe they just do not do business like we do. They (business folks) always seem to be open and enthusiastic with an opportunity, very proactive, then when the hammer hits the nail their government seems to put the brakes on one way or...

    Your are correct Flint! That is the reason for my purchasing USA mfg. Rice bbls. to spec of the original museum piece....which are perfect.
